Hotswap switch plate?

An interesting concept by @kgnwsknf_chef: switch plate turned into main PCB via pin headers.

It seems @kgnwsknf_chef came up with a novel idea to turn a switch plate into a main PCB by using L-shaped pin headers to affix the hotswap sockets to the contraption.

Or is this for handwiring? I don't know. No, it's indeed a switch plate with the matrix circuitry. Regardless, it may inspire some of you crazy bastards.
